3.5.2 PCMCIA card status display

If PCMCIA card attribute is STORING, then a triangle appears. This means that any card removal could
cause data losses on the card.
F1
This triangle is turned off during the recorder configuration.
"PCMCIA BAD", "PCMCIA NOT INIT", "PCMCIA FULL" or "PCMCIA PENDING" could be displayed on
the lower display as blinking message, depending on the corresponding status.
Note: The PCMCIA led must be lit on, for the recorder to be able to store data on the PCMCIA card.

3.5.3 PCMCIA event

The PCMCIA EVENT located in the READ-WRITE\EVENTS matrix (refer to the product manual) is
activated if the PCMCIA card or the driver is in one of the following conditions:
MESSAGE
DISPLAYED
PCMCIA NOT INIT The card has not been initialized by the recorder.
PCMCIA BAD There is a failure in the card device.
PCMCIA FULL At least one archive file (TRENDS, ALARMS, EVENTS or
DIAGNOSTIC) has reached the user-defined %full threshold
(see the % FULL parameter in the READ-WRITE\PCMCIA
matrix).
Note: When the PCMCIA FULL message is displayed, the recording continues till the 100% full is
reached then all additional informations to this file are lost except if the ROLLOVER option is set (see §
4.1.3). Other files continue to be normally updated.

3.6 PCMCIA file descriptions

All PCMCIA card files are PC-compatible and are readable by the TrendManager Software package.

3.6.1 File name conventions

PCMCIA files have a fixed extension according to their content: TRENDS (*.LNT), ALARMS (*.LNA),
EVENTS (*.LNE) and DIAGNOSTICS (*.LND).
The content of each type of file is:
• .LNT files contain CHARTS records
• .LNA files contain ALARMS records (all analog alarms)
• .LNE files contain DIGITAL events records
• .LND files contain recorder EVENTS records.
The recorder stores data depending on its configuration: TRENDS (charts channels records)
informations are sent to the PCMCIA driver at user-defined frequency, ALARMS (alarms records),
EVENTS (digital events records) and DIAGNOSTIC (recorder events records) are asynchronous
informations and so, are sent at each occurrence.
